Who we are
Off-Grid Recovery Community Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in rural Minnesota, built around recovery support, suicide prevention, creativity, and community contribution. We are not a treatment facility or sober house. We are a community-centered, cannabis friendly, organization for people who value responsibility, respect, and meaningful participation, guided by the belief that purpose is a critical role in healing.
The Heart of Our Community
We provide a space where participation, contribution, and presence are the focal points of the recovery journey.
Recovery Support
recovery (Noun)
1. a return to a normal state of health, mind, or strength.
Recovery is not always about addiction. Sometimes it's from a surgery, PTSD, depression, or any of life's major challenges where people benefit from community support.
